In spite of a few above normal days, we're still stuck with things like these. Giant mounds of dirty snow dominate shopping center parking lots across our area. This one is along the O'Neil Highway in Dunmore. What's even more interesting is this pile seems to get the morning sun and the afternoon sun. And, it's still here!
A closer look reveals the reason is simple. This isn't snow. This is mostly ice. It's a combination of the snow, sleet and rain that fell last week. The sun prompted a little melting, and then a re-freeze in to rock hard ice.
Density!
I fear this one will be around for a while longer.
